Ergonomics is about design of the workplace so that work adjusts to your body, rather than your body adjusting to the work. An independent review of the work performed by an individual can assist with reducing ergonomic risk factors and overuse injuries. Ergonomic consulting is of use for offices, for operators of heavy equipment, at computer workstations and work locations in stores, and for production lines in businesses and factories. Ergonomics requires participation of the workers and management. Good design can help reduce risk, empower workers to work more safely, and increase productivity. Bad work design leads to injury, increased risk of over-use injuries, and long term claims.
